The 40-year-old Google cofounder is one of the most prominent Silicon Valley tycoons. His creation has changed the world in a greater way than perhaps any other product and shows no sign of diminishing in importance. This year, the very private Brin garnered attention for mixing the personal with business, as rumors spread that he and his wife were living separately after his affair with a Google employee. Still, no personal scandal can diminish his accomplishments. Google has made Brin filthy rich — his net worth is estimated to be more than $24.4 billion — and continues its reign as one of the most profitable internet companies.
